Coombe Conduit, Surrey

Coombe Conduit is made up of 2 small Tudor buildings connected by an underground tunnel through which water was once supplied to Hampton Court Palace.

The Hampton Court conduit system, traditionally been attributed to Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, was fed from 3 conduit heads. It supplied the palace with water until 1876. In 1896 the conduit houses and a length of the lead piping were sold to the Duke of Cambridge, on whose land they stood and in 1900 the Crown formally relinquished all rights over the pipes. The upper conduit house at Coombe Conduit was badly damaged in 1943 when an tree fell across the west and north walls, bringing down the remains of the roof, the two masonry gables and parts of the remainder of the walls. This damage was fully restored in 1956.
